I saw global News last night. They covered omicron, they covered the cold, they covered an obese dog with a new lease on life, etc etc. Nothing at all seemed out of the ordinary. They can't just ignore the story.

I would like to see hockey back soon personally but they needed to get a handle on things as it was getting out of control.

I record CBC at 6 and find that at least 50 if not 75 per cent of the entire segment is dedicated to covid every single night. Don't bother watching and have to keep pressing skip on the remote. :lol:

Yes l agree just to clarify Kells l wasn't signaling out one network just overall it's overdone on some networks both Canadian and American.

All good, I don't really care about news networks even though I find Global to be decent. Corporate news is never going to do a great job of just spreading information without some sort of agenda.

Nhl back on tomorrow?

Long reddit post, but really interesting to ponder the "what if". I know @Weather101 has mentioned this about Ovechkin. I brought up Jagr as well a while back.

Maybe we'll get to see him play with McDavid for the national team one day. Too bad Crosby and McDavid missed their chance because the NHL is averse to participate in international tournaments. :lol:

P.S. Yes, I am advocating for a world cup of hockey every four years, just like about every other major sport on this planet has.

I’m so happy you posted this! This is what I’ve been saying about OV he would be on pace to beat the record by next year :wtf: :wtf:

I love seeing jagr mentioned because he did go to the KHL for those 3 years

That Canucks game was incredibly dominant. Very optimistic this team will make the playoffs and potentially do some damage.

Crazy eh? I do think they have like 3 games in hand tho but either way nice turn around. They still can’t afford to go on a slump.

Yeah the Oil heads have come back down to earth lately as well, teams are figuring out shut down Draisitl or Mc David and you have a chance.
